After winning the US Open in 2022, Carlos Alcaraz, a tennis player from Spain, rose to fame quickly and is now the youngest-ever men’s singles world number one. The 20-year-old has another milestone to add to his resume: becoming an ambassador for Louis Vuitton. This comes just days after winning the world number one title at the Queen’s Club Championships in London.
The French design firm Louis Vuitton expressed their joy at welcoming Carlos on this new journey in a statement. This collaboration was greatly influenced by Alcaraz’s growing interest in fashion over the previous few years. Alcaraz rapidly established a link with Louis Vuitton after discussing the potential of entering the fashion industry with one of his agents, making the collaboration a no-brainer.
